Safe and competent guide, amazing experience - Papa Turtle Tour from Experience Cook Islands was an amazing experience. Safety first with a small group. I hope I'm putting this review with the correct group. We saw turtles sitting on the bottom and swimming beside us, as well as some coral and colourful fish. However there was a strong current so I recommend going with an experienced guide like Papa. We paid $70 which didn't include photos, but took our own. My friend is not a strong swimmer so he had her sit on a board and only snorkel in a calm place. He helped myself and another person when we got tired. Initially he pulled us all out on boards as he explained about the turtles. Then we went snorkelling, and it was great. There were a lot of other groups in the water at the same time and some groups were quite large.

Must do experience on Rarotonga! - Amazing tour!!! Guides are super knowlegable! Their knowledge of the passage is second to none and they were fun to hang out with, Rachael was super bubbly and was great at connecting with us when taking photos of us on the beach before tour. We saw so many turtles and Reuben taught me how to free dive which was surprisingly easier than I had anticipated. Definitely going to get the rest of my family to book in with you guys. It was a treat.
